In the high altitude of Mexico City, Brandon Royval had just a little bit more left in the tank.
Royval utilized a high-volume offensive approach to gradually pull away from ex-flyweight king Brandon Moreno, taking a closely contested split decision in the UFC Fight Night 237 headliner at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City on Saturday night. With the victory, Royval moves closer to championship contention while also avenging a November 2020 defeat at the hands of Moreno.
